Can You Learn How to Dropship from Tiktok? (My Reaction)

so can you learn how to drop ship from tick-tock let's find out what's up everyone paul here from dropshippingtitans. com where i teach regular people just like you how to start your first drop shipping store now i've been doing this now drop shipping for over five years i have a ton of experience with it but i see all these people making tick tocks claiming to show you how to dropship in about one minute so i want to look at some of these videos and see if the advice they're giving is legit or if the whole thing is just totally cringe let's check it out how i drop shipped 100 products from alibaba to ebay in two minutes using my iphone today okay so right away i'm pretty skeptical about this because people don't use alibaba to drop ship they use aliexpress and even with aliexpress the items are coming from china which is something i really don't recommend that you do there are plenty of us-based suppliers that you can use the customers will get their items much faster and will be happier so i wouldn't use aliexpress or alibaba but let's see if i'm wrong as you can see i've made a few sales but we are now focusing on the infinity q i sold 100 infinity cubes for 270 pounds i'm not going wait what did he do oh he sold a pack of 100 for 270 pounds okay interesting in july this one made me feel real excited now let's look at how much i'm buying it for with shipping fees i'm buying each one for 90 cents plus 50. so in this case this could work because alibaba you really have to buy more in bulk which is actually exactly what he's doing but either way i would not be using aliexpress or drop shipping from china in general especially as a beginner gonna run into a lot of trouble and customers are not gonna be happy when it takes weeks for their items to arrive so i started this journey at 17 to becoming a millionaire i promised myself i'd be honest to all my followers about all the ups i have as well as all the downs i have so as you can see yesterday i appreciate that you know be honest about what's going well and what isn't going well it's what i always try to share on this youtube channel i share the wins as well as kind of the problems i run into so let's see the problem he ran into it looks like he is drop shipping on ebay which is what i do so i had a request for a return from one of my customers about a product i dropship to them and to be completely honest the only person to blame is myself so basically what happened when i was listing my products i listed it as the wrong color so i said it was charcoal black where actually it was silver alright so a return really isn't a big deal i know you kind of frame this as a downside of drop shipping but any type of ecommerce you're going to have returns and if you're doing something like drop shipping the returns are actually very simple because if you bought that item from walmart or retail supplier or even a wholesale supplier all you have to do is contact them let them know you want to return the item and usually you will get a free prepaid return label that you can then give to your buyer who can then ship the item directly back to the supplier and you never have to touch or handle the inventory at all now you said the mistake you made here was that you listed it with the wrong color yeah i guess that is on you that is a mistake you've made but that's pretty easy to avoid just by being more diligent during the listing process staying on top of that stuff is really important that your customers you know exactly like you're saying getting exactly what they want but you know mistakes do happen it's not a big deal i didn't know for color because i'd never actually ordered the product myself which learning from this in future what i'm going to do is i'm going to order one of every product i list before i list it so then i can write better descriptions and at least i'll know about that's not necessary at all and this stuff like this rarely happens where you're just kind of off on the color if i were to order every single item i've had listed in my drop shipping stores ever i would have way too much stuff in my house it's not necessary at all you just got to be on top of making sure that your listings are accurate and looking at the exact product description on the supplier's website about my product before i start selling it so it's a learning curve at the end of the day but that's one of the downsides to drop shipping if you don't order for products yourself you don't actually know what you're selling and you never actually see it so you could be selling something for customers that isn't actually true yeah i would have to disagree with that one because if you're using a reputable supplier most good retail suppliers like walmart that you work with for instance and any good wholesale supplier they're going to have accurate descriptions and if you rely on that and transfer it over correctly you're going to be fine the issue comes in when you're drop shipping let's say from walmart they might have three different colors it's available in you have to make sure that you write down the correct color that you're actually selling unless you are selling all of them which case you have to specify that but as long as you're using reputable supplier you're gonna know exactly what you're ordering all right this one i'm really interested in because this guy the financial wolf is someone that i follow on youtube i think he's a really great youtuber so my roommate called me broke bro so i decided to build the best ebay drop shipping business ever to start i picked 40 random products from walmart that also were selling on ebay like this and i

listed them on ebay for about a 30 markup okay so cool you have product research kind of the general aspect of how it works down most people they'll just go into walmart pick some random items and just list them up for sale on ebay that doesn't really work you want to do exactly what you said you want to find items that are already selling well on ebay and go ahead and sell those same items or substantially similar items that's for any supplier that you use including walmart for the next two weeks sales came in like crazy 1 670 in sales now obviously most of that isn't profit ebay fees added 10 product cost and shipping added another thousand sixty four dollars leaving me with the profit of 439. 26 and hey that's not bad for just your first three weeks doing ebay drop shipping as a complete beginner already having over 400 dollars in profit and there's a proof right there that it works as long as you're willing to put in the time to actually learn how to do it yo i just found this tool that lets you steal hot selling product ideas from ebay users i like the sound of this let's check it out so i was on ebay browsing for led light bulbs and i found this seller right here everyday gadgets he has a lot of sales i basically took their username copy and pasted it into this tool and they generated all their so this is a tool that i use as well i absolutely love it and i use it the exact same way he's shown in this video their sell-through rate their active listings sold items and even their monthly revenue it also gives you a breakdown of all their listings and items that they're selling with their 30-day sales and total amount sold with the price if we click on our light bulb you can see that 1300 were sold and if we want to source this item just click on that button and it directs us to alibaba where we can buy this product for 11 each and put this into your profit calculator and there you go yeah absolutely love that tool for the all that data gives you is absolutely amazing like i said before i don't really use aliexpress or alibaba but you can use that for any supplier whether that's again retail or wholesale supplier it'll work just the same that's a great video i love that one make over a hundred dollars a day by copying and pasting information on to ebay first go to ebay basically that's how he pay drop shipping works you're literally just copying things from your supplier onto ebay and then when it sells you're copying the address from ebay and sending it to your suppliers copy and paste and look for an item that is already selling a lot like for example this one now you're gonna go to walmart for example and look for the same item and of course it's selling at a lower price now go back okay so this kind of misses a step because you're not just going to look on ebay for like the most popular selling item on ebay because that person might not be drop shipping that item might not be available to dropship so first you have to find your supplier and then match up items that they're selling with items being sold on ebay but doing it this way backwards is going to take a lot of time there's a faster way to eva create a new listing copy and paste information from one and this step two what he's doing is he's copying everything from walmart and manually copying and pasting over to ebay yes that works but it takes a long time we actually have a chrome extension you click one button and it will copy and paste everything over for you so that the listing process takes about one second instead of a couple of minutes one more the pictures the titles and descriptions and of course you're gonna set it at a higher price like this so you're gonna make it and the chrome extension sets the price as well i'll have that chrome extension linked up down below because that is one that my team has developed and is available if you want to use profit now just click list item and you're gonna have a beautiful new listing on ebay now once you get a sale you're going to go back to walmart you're going to add the item to your car and for the shipping information you're going to use the shipping information that the buyer gave you on ebay and they will send it to a buyer that's a pretty good description and overview of how ebay drop shipping works yes completely hands off which i love that walmart's just gonna send it all over for you oh another one from financial wolf let's check out 500 in two days these are my first two days of sales basically i'm taking products from other websites like this and i'm listing them on ebay for more money this item actually ended up selling and i made 30 profit nice yeah 30 profit one item pretty cool all right so some great tick tocks right there some meh we're just okay
